Canada shows up Trump's lack of compassion


Canada PM Justin Trudeau
Canada's Trudeau has just announced that his country will welcome rejected U.S. refugees. Since more than 75% of Canada's exports go to the U.S., Trudeau doesn't want to upset Donald John, but he is making it clear that his country will not take the bigoted attitude as his neighbors to the south.
"Trudeau tweeted Saturday 'To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.'”
If you want an hour-by-hour illustration of how Donald John has screwed up the transportation industry, go here.

And this is just one country. 

Donald Trump destroys Brits confidence in U.S.



Just prior to Prime Minister Theresa May's trip to meet Donald John in the White House, British lawmakers accused the PM of "groveling" before the U.S. President. It's all a part of the people of Great Britain rethinking their affections for Americans. As an example:
A Pew Research Center poll from early 2016 found that 85 percent of Britons had no confidence in Trump doing the right thing in global relations, while 12 percent said they had confidence.
A Gallup International poll conducted in September found that if British citizens could vote in the U.S. election, 64 percent would have chosen Trump's rival, Hillary Clinton. 15 percent said they would have voted for Trump.
Another poll conducted for the Independent, this time by BMG Research, shortly after the election, 58 percent of Britons said that America's global reputation would suffer after Trump's win.

Can America afford Donald Trump's ego



Contrary to belief, Sigmund Freud did not employ the use of the term ego (a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance) or id (the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest). He had other references, unimportant to this post. They both seem to date back to the time of Nietzsche but the reason for bringing any of this up is to point out the fact that Donald John's ego is completely out of control and his id is that of a lunatic. Just take a look at the following from Ashley Parker of the Washington Post:
"Even with British Prime Minister Theresa May standing at the lectern just to his right Friday, the new president used his first joint news conference with a world leader to underscore that while his campaign message may have been 'America first,' his actual guiding philosophy is more 'Trump first.'”
When was the last ego maniac to run this country? 

Donald Trump's war with truthful media



They say truth hurts but in Donald John's case it is a wound that is festering to the extent that he can't attend to the business of this country...the reason for which he was apparently elected. The comparison of his much smaller Inauguration crowd size compared to Barack Obama's in 2009 is just the latest. It's all staged by Steve Bannon who, along with Kellyanne Conway, have now given us "alternative facts." But the media just isn't buying it.

Obama: Tied for 1st place in role of modern presidents



President Barack Obama is in a tie with former President Ronald Reagan now but will eventually surpass him in the role of greatest American Presidents. Obama has surged in the past few years, as Reagan has lost five points. This compared to Obama's nemesis, Mitch McConnell, who has been voted most unpopular U.S. Senator, plainly illustrating the lack of class in the latter. 

Palin exit way too overdue



If only to get rid of that screeching voice, her departure is a blessing. But there's more. Imagine her PAC donors are pissed that only 12% of contributions went to party candidates, the express purpose of the PAC. In the 2016 election cycle, Palin's Sarah PAC spent $830,000 on consultants and just $82,500 in donations to other candidates. Also, the PAC spent $168,000 on travel and lodging expenses during the 2016 election — double what it donated to candidates. Palin's self-aggrandizement at its best.

We all knew Donald John was clueless with the maturity of a child


Leaks from the White House...
"Time and again, the image of Trump pushed by his “aides” is one of a clueless child — someone who acts on impulse, disregarding the better advice of people who know better. We know he needs to be managed or else he will say and do stupid things, the message seems to be. We're working on it."
